Interesting one to miss. I thought everyone knew about FDR threatening
to pack the court.

Must be a generational thing. The Socrates thing tripped me up.

That's surprising, given that you were alive then? LOL sorry.

The only way you can override the SCOTUS is to also get 2/3ds of both
houses of congress and 3/4ths of the state legislatures in an
amendment to the constitution.

Even worse, I think we all had classes that included this information!

I am holding out for SCOTUS justice ;-)
